C000055695 Investment Objective and Strategy
Columbia Variable Portfolio - Emerging Markets Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Columbia Funds Variable Series Trust II.
Investment objective
Columbia Variable Portfolio Emerging Markets Fund (the Fund) seeks to provide shareholders with long-term capital growth.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets ( plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities (including, but not limited to, common stocks, preferred stocks and securities convertible into common or preferred stocks) of companies located in emerging market countries. Emerging markets include countries that have an emerging stock market as defined by MSCI, countries or markets with low- to middle-income economies as classified by the World Bank, and other countries or markets identified by the Funds manager as having similar emerging markets characteristics. The Fund may also gain exposure to such companies through investment in depositary receipts. The Fund may seek investment exposure to Chinese companies operating in certain sectors using a structure known as a variable interest entity (a VIE), rather than an equity ownership in the Chinese company.
The Fund may invest in a variety of countries, industries and sectors and does not attempt to invest a specific percentage of its assets in any given country, industry or sector. However, the Fund has invested substantially in the financials and information technology sectors and may continue to invest substantially in these or other sectors in the future. From time to time, the Fund may focus its investments in certain countries or geographic areas, including the Asia/Pacific region. The Fund may invest in companies that have market capitalizations of any size. The Fund may invest in special situations, such as companies involved in initial public offerings, tender offers, mergers and other corporate restructurings, and in companies involved in management changes or companies developing new technologies.
The Fund may invest in securities that the investment manager believes are undervalued, represent growth opportunities, or both.
